Few North American clubs have so drastically raised the profile of Latin music and dance as the Palladium Ballroom, the Midtown dance venue that served as ground zero for the mambo craze of the 1940s and ‘50s. The Palladium’s decades-long success is directly attributable to its “Big Three” headline artists-in-residence: Afro-Cuban jazz legend Machito, iconic percussionist Tito Puente, and the composer-singer-crossover star Tito Rodríguez. Rodríguez’s son, Tito Rodríguez, Jr., continues his father’s legacy on the bandstand to this day. Generally considered to be one of the world’s leading timbaleros and bandleaders of modern salsa and Latin Jazz, Rodríguez, Jr. and his band will electrify the dance floor with a set of mambo classics done in the classic Palladium-era style with a contemporary twist.
